1:44Now PlayingNew York's Mayor, Bill de Blasio, says he is hopeful that the city will have enough vaccine by the end of February to do 500,000 doses a week.
De Blasio reiterated that the city does not have enough vaccines as of Monday. He said the city is pushing for more doses and greater flexibility on how the 2nd doses kept in reserve are used.
De Blasio wants the city to be able to dip into the stored 2nd doses to give more people their 1st dose of the vaccine.
With reports that a few vaccination sites have had extra doses, the mayor said the city has a protocol for those doses and he isn't in favor of a "stand-by" line at this time.
"I don't like people being in lines together to begin with unless there's a reason. I don't like the opportunity that seems like maybe there's going to be hope, but then there isn't. I don't like that reality. I don't think it's going to lead us to a good place. I think we got to solve the problem on the front end," said de Blasio.
